국가보훈제도와 전몰․순직군인 유족 보훈급여제도의 개선방안

Abstract

Veterans Welfare Systems persue not only the idea that they should provide the proper national compensation corresponding to the contributions and sacrifices the veterans and dead soldiers had dedicated to our country, but also the idea that the veterans and the families of dead soldiers should be treated with respect to let them lead the honorable lives. Even if the war dead soldiers made the noblest sacrifice of all, however, their families were greatly discriminated in comparison with the veterans in loss-compensating benefit and social welfare benefit, which is against the ideas of coincidence with purpose and equity. As a way to solve this problems, firstly, the pay for 1st grade disabled ex-servicemen should be paid equally to the families of war dead soldiers in veterans benefits & medical treatment support system. It should be considered that all the disabled ex-servicemen and the families of war dead soldiers should be accepted as medical care pensioner in Medical Care Assistance Act. In addition, there should be made a special education and job supporting system for the families of war dead soldiers, and the families of war dead soldiers should be allowed to be supported by adopting sons or daughters, who can be also offered the education and job support.
